Hi all,
i bought a unlocked Galaxy Ace S5830 via amozon.ca for my friend in Toronto, and the phone has current following firmware: (it seems to be for region european)
Pda: s5830XWKPT
Phone: s5830XWKP7
Csc: s5830OXFKP3
Android 2.3.3
GINGERBREAD.XWKPT
Kernel 2.6.35.7-perf-CL469288 [email protected]#1
and my friend has a sim card from fido in the phone. And he has activated his data plan with Fido, but the phone just can not use 2G/3G.
Fortunately the phone works fine with voice phone, WIFI etc. except mobile data network. I'm afraid that the firmware of the Phone and CSC
are not fit for canada. As i searched in this forum, i found the information about Galaxy GT-S5830D with firmware S5830DTLSKI4,
So my questions are:
1: is it really not possible to get mobile network working in canada with current firmwares ?
2: can then the GT-S5830 be flashed with the firmware S5830DTLSKI4 of GT-S5830D?
3: Is the firmware S5830DTLSKI4 only for Network of Koodo/Telus, or it works also for FIDO?
thanks a lot for your helps in advance ...

only data is not working??
have you activated data in settings and checked apn settings??
settings might not be properly recognized
Yes, only data is not working. So i'm not sure now if it is modem issue or just APN setting issue. Does anyone here use S5830 from canada? which modem firmware do you have?

Hi, I am not sure if this will help you, but I have a Galaxy Ace GT-S5830D originally bought on the Koodo Network, but I unlocked it and am now running it on Fido with a Fido SIM card.
I too had problems connecting to data with Fido after unlocking, but you must enable data roaming for it to work.
Settings > Wireless and networks > Mobile Networks > Data Roaming
Also ensure your APN settings are set right.

Thread about enabling data roaming... seems to be a thing about Fido being on Rogers network:
http://forums.fido.ca/t5/forums/forumtopicpage/board-id/Smartphones/thread-id/3502/page/1
Enabling data roaming fixed it for me, but I am not sure if this will help you since you have a GT-S5830 while I have a GT-S5830D.
Hope this helps.
Hi, thank you so much for your helpfully information. With your information my friend can use the data networking provided by FIDO now with his GT-S5830! THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANT YOU!
But only connects with 2g right?
I use my SGA with the Rogers networks and I can only connect with 2g data. My understanding is that 3g is only possible in Canada with the SGA on the Mobilcity and Wind networks due to the limited frequencies the SGA can use for 3g.

I was told my Unlocked SGA couldn't run on AWS networks like Wind and Mobilicity.
As for only 2G? Umm... who told you that? I honestly don't know about the frequencies and such, but my 3G icon in my status bar lights up all the time and honestly, my SGA downloads speeds are faster than my Nexus S which was bought from FIDO.

Hi,
Not sure if this has been posted, but I did a search and was not able to find any thread on this.
I have a Koodoo Samsung Galaxy S2 (SGH T989D) that I rooted and unlocked. When I put my Fido SIMin, I can only make voice calls and no data connection, none of my cellular data app./browser can connect to the internet, WIFI is working fine. I used both the APN drawn from the SIM card and manually set them according to the Fido forum, and both doesn't seem to work.
I've enable Data Roaming and still no luck, has anyone sucessfully unlock a Koodoo Samsung Galaxy S2 and got the data to work on the Fido network?
Any help would be much appreciated!!
Thanks in advance.
did you talk to your provider, they may have enable settings on their server.

Hi guys,
I'm currently using a Korean branded LTE-A phone - Pantec Secret Note A890s

Please help!
I have Samsung SII HD LTE SHV-E120L. 3G and 4G recently launched in Pakistan and not available in whole country. When I connect to network only GPRS service is detected and No EDGE service at all. I try with default Android OS I.e 4.1.2 after I flashed with Hellkat 4.4.2, but EDGE problem is still there.
In Network APN settings I only found three options
I. LTE
ii. eHRPD
III. unspecified
GPRS is very slow. I wanted to use EDGE till the 3G coverage.
Please Help!
